 The marriage, Thursday evening, July 18th, at the residence of Gov. and Mrs. F. A. Tritle, of their only daughter, Miss Katie Tritle, and Lieut. Eugene Jaccard Spencer, Engineer Corps U. s. A and the reception rendered the bride and groom, was the most brilliant social event witnessed in Prescott for years. The marriage ceremony was private, be- ing witnessed only by members of the family of the brides parents, with Lieu tenant Moves. of whipple, sn intimate friend of the groom, and Miss Mary Otis, as best man and bridesm aid re- spectively, and little Katie Tnsle Clark with the family. It was performed in the east parlor of the family mansion, by Bishop Dunlop. of the Episcopal church. the beautiful and impressive service of that church being read. The bay.window of the parlor facing east ward was beautifully festooned with orange blossoms, while immediately over its entrance, suspended from an exqui- site love knot of flowers, hung we'd ding bell artistically arranged from flowers, beneath which the couple stood while the ceremony that united them for life was pronounced by Bishop Dunlop at half past seven o'clock. The book from which the marriage service was read was beautiful white-leAther GOV cred ,.gilt ;prayer-book, the gift of the bride's parents and brothers to the couple.
 Standing beneath these horal em- blen,s of joy, purity and love, rsceiving the congratulations of her numerous friends, the bride was lovely picture in . dress of heavy white gros-grain silk, made with plain, full court train; cor sage cut short at the hips, and pointed back and front; neck cut heart-shape. The front of the corsage and the tablier forming the front of the skirt were GOV cred with dainty puffs of illusion, caught with sprays of white lilac. The neck, sleeves and tabiier were also garnished with duchesse lace. From the dark hair of the bride, where it was fastened with sprays of white lilac. fell the bridal veil like delicate mist.
 The only ornament worn by the bride vas . pin made from q pearl earring worn by her mother at her marriage.
 A wedding supper was partaken of, and shortly after o'clock the ladies and gen tlemen of Prescott and Whipple com menced to arrive toextend their cougrat- ulations. The piazza in fiont of the pala- tial residence was most beautifully illu- minated by means of Chinese lanterns, . TOW of them extending on either side of the entrance to the house, while oth- CTS encircled the entire grounds, the pi- asza being perfect network of lovely clematis vines in full bloom presenting in the subdued and mellow light of an early moon . sublime picture. In the center of the grounds was stationed the Ninth Infantry band, from Whipple, which discoursed sweet strains of har- mony during the evening.
 The popularity of the bride, as we'll as the esteem in which Governor and Mrs. Tritle are held by the people of this community, was well eyinced by the number who thronged their residence on this occasion, every room being filed. The congratulations and well-wishes rendered the happy couple were cordial and sincere, and were marred only by the thought that the ceremony which brought joy and gladness to two hearts would result in the loss to Prescott oi her
